Right now Earth Treasury topics go in the Sugar Labs Wiki in User
space, at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Mokurai/*. Any time we
determine how to turn one of them into a Sugar Activity, that goes in
the Main namespace. For example, if we can come up with low cost water
quality sensors, we can organize a sampling trip down one of the
rivers, and test each sample. That's what they did on the Yukon River,
to locate pollutant sources between successive sampling points. Until
then, we have to find laboratories willing to do the analysis of
pollutants.
